Bio

History:

Selected in the second round, 43rd overall, of the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft by Kelowna. Selected in the third round, 46th overall, of the 2014 USHL Futures Draft by the Omaha Lancers. Ultimately selected the Canadian junior route where he debuted for Kelowna in 2015-2016 with a fine 8 goal and 36 point premiere campaign. Had 6 goals and 51 points in his draft year in 2016-2017 and appeared for Team WHL in the Subway Super Series.

Scouting Report

Big, strong defenseman with excellent blood lines. Has an advanced understanding of positioning, a good stick, and good gap control. Calm under pressure and is an above average passer with a low, hard shot that should translate to the point on the power play.

Weaknesses:

Skating has been panned as average, and while he is big and strong, he isn't nasty or mean.

Projection:

#3 or #4 minute eating defenseman who can contribute on the power play.
